Free!

I thought this would be funny to share. The other day, I walked into the kitchen at work and see an opened box of Girl Scout cookies with a Post-It note that says, "Free!"

Hmmm....who ever left that out, thank you for the clarification. It was really unnecessary, though. Like, as if I would actually place money on the counter for each cookie I ate. Yeah right! Besides, even if that was the case, you really think we'd assume that we'd be required to pay for a cookie? I think not. This is Accounting we're talking about. We take anything we can get our hands on if accessible for FREE because yes, we choose to live our life that way. The rule of thumb is: If it's out there an there is no name on it, it's FREE and we can have it!

While you're at it. You might as well place a Post-It on the coffee pot because the coffee is FREE, too!

It's Automatic

Apparently, a couple things changed while I was overseas.  10th Floor restroom upgrades to be exact:  

• Automatic toilet flush - When the hell did the engineers install that?!   Normally, when you're done with your "business", you stand up, pull up your pants, then flush manually with your foot.  Now, you stand up, it flushes, and then you pull up your pants.  You see...I don't really like this new order.   I'm not necessarily against it BUT I do have to admit that the sensor is a teeny weeny bit sensitive. I took this up with my boss and she agrees.  Not only was the sensor too sensitive, it gives us ladies not enough time to pull up our pants/skirt.  As a result, our bare bottoms are touched by the strong nasty back splash from the toilet water during flushing mode. Gross, right?  I'm actually considering taking this issue up to the property management department.  If they fail to adjust the sensors, then oh well.  At least I tried.  I'll then just have no choice but to come up with successful technique of getting up from the toilet and pulling up my pants/skirt BEFORE the flush beats me to it.
• Automatic deodorizer - I LOVE this new upgrade.  I take joy out of simple pleasures and walking into a fresh smelling restroom is just a beautiful thing.  I feel as if I'm in a Febreze commercial sniffing up the great aroma.  No more taking post lunch risks, walking into the women's restroom and having to say:  "WTF is that smell?!" or holding my breath or having to pick up the air freshener aerosol can. 

Whole Lotto Love

I got back from vacation a couple days ago. I was planning on uploading a bunch of my photos for Facebook and my blah-g but someone decided to borrow my USB cord without asking! (ehemm! you know who you are, mister!) So while I'm impatiently waiting for a particular personal property to be returned to its rightful owner, I thought I'd share something cute with you all. As you now know, I was out on vacation. I was overseas for two weeks with the family. Philippines to be exact. I'll share details about my trip soon. Usually, JayJay would con everyone in our department at the office to invest $2 for the lottery. This usually happens at least once a week. Twice if the jackpot is ginormous! I'm usually a Scrooge when it comes to that. He literally threatens and forces me to scarf up some change. He will not leave my cubicle until I hand him over a couple dollar bills. Like, what the hell are the chances? Yeah, yeah, pessimistic me. So what! Anyway, during my absence, my co-workers decided to spot me for the California Lotto pool. Can you say, sweet? Now that's love. No wonder I was copied on a bunch of emails containing a pdf copy of the lottery ticket. I thought JayJay was joking but Jolene admitted that it was true. She explained that if they all won, they would feel horribly bad because of course, they'd up and leave their jobs. That in turn would leave me stranded all by my lonesome self once I return. So...conclusion - they decided to include me just in case. That was really sweet, I thought. Ain't it? OK that's it. 

p.s. I'm still waiting.....

Let's Get Personal

Who Am I?

Hi! My name is share-bare. I’m a dreamer who constantly comes up with random ideas of how to live the perfect life. I used to think I can live an independent life contently just as single mother. I tell myself over and over again – I don’t need to find a man to marry to make myself happy. Besides, after witnessing tons of drama unfold within my family circle, it’s clear to see that marriage ends in divorce! Then the other part of me wishes I can be the "exception".  I'll find that special connection with my soul mate and live happily ever after. I think I’m bipolar. My family admits that I have a bad temper. I’m a moody bitch. Does that make me bipolar? Anyway…I try to plan every moment but obviously, 99% of the time does not play out exactly as I lay it out to be. If it did then my bitter ass wouldn’t be telling you all this shit. I’d probably be living in my dream ranch style home in the Peninsula with a husband and kids PLUS three Labrador Retrievers -a yellow, a chocolate, and a black one. All my bathrooms would have mosaic tiles. Why I just said that, I have no idea. Who am I kidding!

From time to time, I get in the mood to share everything it is to know how glorious my life is. I’m saying that sarcastically, of course. You’ll be able to read my day to day happenings on how freakin hard it is to find my perfect match. Ideally, I would love this all to be published into a book and possibly even turn it into a movie script or television sitcom. Wouldn't that be great?!  I say that seriously, this time.  I, for one don’t believe that fairy tales can actually happen to me. Call me cynical for now.  This may change in a matter of time. 

Status = Selected

"Dear Nike Runner,

Congratulations, you have been selected in the 2009 Nike Women's Marathon random drawing! You are now registered for the 2009 Nike Women's Marathon..."

Can I say, AWESOME?! Hooray me! I'm super excited and super frightened at the same time. I just completed my 28 week-training schedule last night and I'm all good to go. Who knows. Maybe I'll lose some belly fat from all the running and cross training. Let's just hope. 13.1 miles have been accomplished so far. It's now time to upgrade to 26.2 miles! Yikes! That's certainly a whole lot of running!
